Re: Current Year 11 thread mark III (woo!) / Year 12 2012/13I believe it's a the core one today aye!(Original post by mandi21)
Good luck to all doing the Ideas in context paper (OCR 21st Century Science)!
And good luck to everyone else with whatever exam you have today!
I was reading through a bit of the thread I missed yesterday to see a lot of you are doing your poetry exams, I'm happy I got mine out of the way in January. I'm sure you'll all be fine, I was a bit worried about what poems would come up but they ended up giving us really nice ones!
Good luck to those who are doing it. -

Re: Current Year 11 thread mark III (woo!) / Year 12 2012/13Yeah I'm hoping for an A too(Original post by Nathan0012)
Yeah it can be hard to remember all the formulas, I just keep practicing and keep saying them in my head, some of them have a rhythm which you can say them to to help remember them. I'm OK with most of the stuff in the course, but it was originally a big shock to me, on my first practice way back in November the highest grade was a C, but now a few of us are aiming for A, including me I'm just a little bit concerned I have to do this exam, and then straight away afterwards I have to do a Physics P3 exam 
Hopefully it will all be fine in the end 
aww poor you, I think I did P3 last year... I'm basically fine with all of add maths apart from trig identities

AQA? I messed up on the ones where I had to name things, wrote ionic instead of covalent and I knew as soon as the exam finished I made that mistake.(Original post by shyamshah)
How did everyone find chemistry? I would say it was quite hard but still think i did reasonably well

I found it fairly hard but I hope my struggles mean I eventually got correct answers, or marks for working out- or a low grade boundary! Need an A/B. Want an A but a B will still get me the grade I want (I think).

Re: Current Year 11 thread mark III (woo!) / Year 12 2012/13Everyone in my year said the higher paper for chemistry was really easy. I must say, even though it was foundation I sat I never once thought to myself 'what the ****' like I did in the past papers

I got A* in C1a and an A in C1b but I'm going to do badly in C2. I'll try and remain calm until TSR posts the unofficial mark scheme. Hopefully I did better on bigger questions. I'm focusing on the negative (I hope).(Original post by shyamshah)

I hope they'll be low too, and I'm also glad it's over- but I'll be revisiting it at A Level!

Re: Current Year 11 thread mark III (woo!) / Year 12 2012/13Everybody at my school who did the 21st century OCR core science unit 4 found it really easy there was hardly any "science", all ethics and stuff instead! How did you guys find it?
